Anyone out their keep Maryland Blue Crabs (Callinectes sapidus)? I have one and he is super Agro. He killed my flounder and now i have the feed the crab chunks of meat with chop sticks. He always has his claws up and he goes after my puffers (silly crab) Mine is only 1.5 inches long and in a brackish tank. My friend had about 20 shiners and 2 blue crabs in a 55 full salt. Over time he had one crab left because it ate everything else. I think he is cool and is going to get his own tank eventually. Anyone else got them? I have had many in the past but they are red, hot, and covered in Old Bay! lol
 
good eatin when they get bigger.
 
nice, any color changes...bighter?/
 
I couldn't find him. He is most likely hiding until he hardens. Fish love softshell crabs. I will post pics later. He is awesome. In fact, I will post with a dead fish in his claws hehe:ROFL:
 
hell ya!
 
He has grown a LOT. Now he doesn't hide anymore. Always out on the open. I am going to post all of my molts on a thread sometime!
 
that sounds awesome, i heard blue crabs were aggressive bastards and that's made me wish I could keep one.
